Mac Forum / Applications / MS Office / April 2007Groove for Mac
I'm using Office 2004 and looking forward to Office 2008. The problem I have is I run Windows in Parallels for one applicaiton - Groove. I haven't seen anything about this and I doubt I'll get any meaningful response, but does anyone know if there is any chance that there will be a Groove client for OS X? Thanks. > I'm using Office 2004 and looking forward to Office 2008. The problem > I have is I run Windows in Parallels for one applicaiton - Groove. I [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Thanks.

I've emailed them (mac group and office group) several times but never received any response from a person. Bob's response is what I was expecting, but I was hoping for more. We may end up switching to something else if there is no OS X version of Groove on the horizon. Thanks for reading.

SharePoint and InfoPath integration is not provided.

What I really need is the file sync capability with Win Groove users. Those are the only features I use. We may try to switch to a different solution and abandon Groove. Another option may be that I write my own server based solution using the Groove web services api, but it's not something I really have time to do. I'd be happy to pay for a copy of Groove for OS X. Hi, You are able to let the Groove folks know of your interest by posting your feedback in the Groove newsgroup at microsoft.public.groove They would probably like to know that there is an important market that is being overlooked and that there is a ready, willing and able customer being ignored. -Jim Gordon Mac MVP Quoting from "dean.junk@gmail.com" <dean.junk@gmail.com>, in article 1174791860.801983.162640@d57g2000hsg.googlegroups.com, on [DATE: > On Mar 24, 1:12 am, Jim Gordon MVP <goldke...@WarmerThanWarmMail.com> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >> >> Project Centerhttp://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/entourage2004/using.aspx?pid=us..>> . >> urage2004&type=howto&article=/mac/LIBRARY/how_to_articles/office2004/en_Wor k >> ingWithProjectsInEntourage2004.xml [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > something I really have time to do.

SignatureJim Gordon Mac MVP MVPs are not Microsoft Employees MVP info http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Alternatively, you may consider solutions like - Virtual PC for Mac www.microsoft.com - Parallels Desktop for Mac www.parallels.com ... for running Groove on your Macintosh. Not an ideal solution, but it works :-) > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 60 lines] > > something I really have time to do. I'd be happy to pay for a copy of > > Groove for OS X. |
